Papplewick School, Ascot,  perform Aladdin:  This classic middle-eastern tale of good triumphing over evil unravels the antics of Aladdin, the Princess Jasmine, the genial Genie, the paternal Sultan of Agrabah, the conniving Jafar and his bumbling henchmen, Iago the parrot and Razoul. Included in this heady mix is a chorus of hapless princes, palace guards, townsfolk and harem girls.

“The show was a colourful spectacle of dialogue, song, dance - a theatrical triumph!” said Tom Bunbury, Headmaster.

About Papplewick

Papplewick is a day, weekly, and full boarding preparatory school for around 200 boys between the ages of 6 and 13. Situated in 15 acres of land opposite Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire, Papplewick has an excellent record for academic achievement and feeds many of the UK’s top independent senior schools including Eton, Harrow, Winchester, Wellington, Stowe and Bradfield.  

In the last two years the school has maintained its academic record, gaining no less than 18 awards to top independent schools, including three King’s Scholarships to Eton.  Through its strong commitment to sports, the school also builds skills of teamwork, sportsmanship and responsibility.

As well as academic, sporting and cultural excellence, Papplewick aims to provide boys with the confidence and security they need to fulfil their potential, and the school strives to promote enthusiasm for life, contribution to the community and kindness to others amongst all its pupils. 

A recent (2013) report by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) remarks that relationships between pupils and teachers: ‘are an outstanding strength of the school and are seminal in creating the strong sense of a mutually supportive and trusting community.’
